Parents Rose Ceremony

Marriage is a coming together of two lives, and a celebration of the love of two people. But it is more. The love that you feel for one another is the flowering of a seed your mothers planted in your hearts many years ago. When you were first born, you were a bundle of diapers and tears, and your mothers lost sleep caring for you. Their love for you has brought them great happiness and great challenges, and their love did not diminish as they met these challenges. That is the great lesson you can bring into your marriage. As you embrace one another in your love, so too do you embrace the families which have been brought together on this happy occasion. As a token of your gratitude for your families, I would like to ask you to offer these symbols of eternal love, these roses, to your mothers. (Both bride and groom can hand the roses to each mother together, offering the mothers kisses if they wish.)

Officiant Reviews

Our wedding officiant Brenda (Miller) was just fantastic to work with! Our guests loved the personal touches to our ceremony, like including our 4 year old daughter into a few aspects of our wedding. She was so flexible, kind hearted and professional and made our destination wedding ceremony a breeze. THANK YOU a million times for helping us start this wonderful new and exciting chapter of our lives together!

Michael Skaljin was everything my wife, Danielle, and I could want in an officiant and more. He helped us plan a beautiful ceremony and took our personal tastes into consideration. He accommodated the "hiccups" of the day, which enabled us to focus on what was really important. Please consider Michael for your special day. He's worth it!

Jack Cox was the life of the ceremony!! I cannot even begin to tell you how many guests came up to us during the reception asking about our Officiant, and was he coming to dinner. So may people wanted to meet him. He kept our guests laughing, and made things so much more light for us, when all we really wanted to do was crack from the stress. He made our wedding so special and we won't ever forget his laughter and kindness!!! My first contact in the reservations office was with Kathleen. She was so kind to me during our numerous e-mails. She made me feel like our wedding was the only wedding she had to plan, always putting my needs, and concerns first and answering all my questions no matter how silly or dumb. She was even very open with our down payment letting us send it after Christmas was over, knowing we needed our money to get through the holidays.WE WILL TOTALLY RECOMMEND YOUR COMPANY! Our wedding was very special and went off with hardly any problems. Dealing with your company was by far the most easy arrangement made during our entire wedding!!!

Heather Schiedel was amazing and so helpful in helping us plan our ceremony. We got so many compliments about what a great job she did and even prior to our big day she went above and beyond to answer our questions and ask us the right questions to help us figure out what kind of ceremony we wanted to have. She was organized, punctual and very friendly. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married who wants an officiant who really seems to care.

On behalf of John and myself I would like to say "Thank You" for being our Wedding Officiant on June 2nd and tell you that we appreciate very much how easy it was to connect and communicate. Your professional yet pleasant and relaxed manner made our day go smoothly and as planned - meaningful but simple and short!
This may sound funny but, you were part of our day and your presence was missed at dinner. I regret very much that I did not follow my own intuition and invite you, even on Saturday.
Be in touch.
Best,
